What the heck are twinkling H20's

[Saints]

I have been trying to figure out what twinkling waters are and just cannot?
Also I just tried to do the Candle thing and it didn't work, are you supposed to peel off the tissue paper?
Thanks

Twinkling H2Os are a watercolor product with sparkle built in. they come in small jars. You can use them in at least 2 ways. One is like regular watercolor paint and the other, more exciting, is to mist the jars (they come hard as a rock) with water. Give them a few good spritz. Let them sit for about 5 - 10 minutes and stir until they are the consistency of nail polish. You then paint them directly onto the stamp. You can mix colors onto the stamp and create really lovely effects. You can get several stampings out of one paint job by spritzing onto the stamp again. You can see them if you just google the name. Hope this helps.

Twinklin H2O's are awesome....

they come as little hard cakes and you use an aquabrush or a watercolorbrush to paint it on a picture...hard to see in a lot of posts but they gave a shimmery effect...

I have one jar called Icicles that I love - sometimes I will use marker or regular ink to color in something and then go back over it with the icicles - it adds a glimmer to the color without changing the color...

as for candles - here is a link to another post of mine that has a step by step tutorial attached

Hi LIsa!

For the candles here is what I have done
stamped and embossed the image on the tissue
place stamped on your candle where you want it to be
now take a larger piece of wax paper to wrap around the candle, so that you can hold it on the other side
now heat it with the heat gun until the tissue actually melts into the wax candle and some of the wax from the wax paper is transferred onto the tissue, if it is melted enough you should be able to remove the wax paper and the tissue just disappears into the candle.

Hope this makes sense

I don't believe SU sells them yet....here is where I got mine and they are on sale:

They are made by the same folks that make radiant pearls. If you join their club they give you a $5 coupon. Here is their site:

Both companies are great to deal with too! Super nice people!

They come in two sizes, and the minis last a long time. I suggest you start with the small ones to see which colors you like. I think there are 98 colors or more.

The manufacturer's site with lots of info is:
